Another optionis to add a fan to bring air into the case. There is
usually a mounting for inside the front of the case. You can fasion a
washable air filter from plastic foam filter material that is available at
many hardware stores (usually packaged as a replacement filter for window
mounted air conditioners). I've used this for a few years now and have
expirienced good results and no problems. On some systems it may be
necessary to add some wire mesh (1 cm holes works fine) to prevent the
filter from being pulled into the fan.
